Best falafel in town

The men who work there are extremely friendly and offer you a cup of hot Syrian tea when it’s raining outside. A must-try

Pros: Delicious , Relatively cheap, Filling

Lovely place

Amazing service from the gentleman on the stall and the most gorgeous wrap/sandwich. I had falafel, hummus, salad. He gave me a free cup of tea whilst I waited that I can only describe as a ‘tea version’ of mulled wine! Really affordable at 16 for a sandwich too.

Pros: Service , Options, Friendly

Tasty, filling wraps for a great price

I went to the informal street-food-style stall on Plac Nowy in June 2023 and had a Batendżan wrap. It was full of flavour, pleasantly spiced, and was a generous, filling size, all for just 16 zł. Highly recommended!

Pros: All vegan, Full of flavour, Great value for money

Cons: Outdoor seating only

Just ok, but disappointing

Just typical fast food. Hummus was definitely form a can, not fresh. Falafel is just ok, but there are several places around, where you can find better. Broad beans are full of grease.

Updated from previous review on 2023-02-06

Pros: Reasonable price

Cons: Not as good as expected, Not fresh, Very salty and lots of fatty sauces

Lovely

Delicious food!
Reasonably priced, staff were friendly.
This isn’t so much a restaurant as a stall, caught us off guard but didn’t take away from the experience.
Really nice and interesting dishes, authentic.
Located on an interested tucked away square with other food stalls, worth checking out! #Veganuary

Pros: Delicious and all vegan!, Friendly staff, Lots of choice

Mazaya Falafel

This place has incredible food. Prepare to be wowed! I don’t recall the name of the dish we got but it was a large wrap with sides of hummus and vegetables, intended for two. We also got the baclava, which was divine. This vegan restaurant is now called Mazaya Falafel.

Pros: Extremely flavorful food, Large portions

Delicious falafel dishes

I recommend Mazaya falafel (even more if you're a falafel lover). The three dishes we ordered were delicious. I highly enjoyed mine, which was a plate of falafel, vegetables and hummus. A mix that really matched. The atmosphere was quiet, clean and friendly. The place is worth it.

Pyszne falafel w Centrum Krakowa

W miejscu, w którym był sham falafel znajduję się teraz nowy lokal znanej sieci w Krakowie Mazaya! To była miła niespodzianka. Zamawialiśmy z żoną Talerz Mazaya. Polecam 100%. Porcja dla 2 osób idealna. Jakość potraw wysoka i atmosfera bardzo miła. Pracownicy bardzo sympatyczni. Wracamy na pewno!

Pros: 100% weganski, Smaczne i świeże jedzenie., Taras na zewnątrz

Loved the food.

We went to this place by reading reviews and it did live upto the expectations. We ordered Extra Standard and Arabic dishes and both were tasty. Hummus was delicious. Cherry on top was Baklava. Just made our day.

Pros: All options were vegan, Taste was excellent , Value for money

Proper Syrian falafel

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my travels, it’s that the Syrians know how to make some damn good falafel. Luckily this place absolutely delivers on that reputation and is easily top three best falafel I’ve ever had — and I’ve had A LOT of falafel.

13 zł gets you a large wrap with hummus, and it’s outstanding. Veggies taste fresh, the spicy sauce is good, and the falafel itself is absolutely top tier. Crispy outside, soft and juicy inside, spiced just right. This is the real deal.

Confirmed fully vegan kitchen with the staff, too! The tarator sauce is indeed the vegan version, no yoghurt here.

Delicious

I went there during my trip to Krakow and have to say one of the best falafel sandwiches there are. Got bigger size since it was only 2 PLN more thinking I’ll have leftovers but ended up eating whole thing right there. Pomegranate seeds add really good flavor to the whole thing. Will definitely go again.

Pros: All vegan, Size, Flavor
